Palazzo Mozzi, Gothic palace in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy
Palazzo Mozzi is a Gothic palace on the southern bank of the Arno River in the Oltrarno district, dominated by a prominent tower. Its facade displays characteristic medieval stonework built with blocks of different sizes and textures.
The palace was built between 1260 and 1273 as a defensive structure for the Ponte alle Grazie bridge. The Mozzi family, supporters of the Guelph faction, constructed it as a fortress at this strategic riverbank location.
The building houses the Museo Bardini, displaying art collected over centuries that reflects Florentine craftsmanship traditions. The rooms evoke how wealthy families lived during medieval and Renaissance times.
The palace sits at Piazza de Mozzi near Ponte alle Grazie in the Santo Spirito quarter. The area is easily walkable and well connected by local streets leading to nearby attractions.
The palace incorporates architectural elements salvaged from demolished Florentine buildings during 19th-century urban renewal. These recycled materials make the facade a patchwork of different building styles and periods.
